Have been trying to go here since BEFORE Valentines Day. They had a sign saying they were prepping for Valentines Day. Now every time I've gone here (weekly) they've been closed. What a waste of gas. They finally posted a sign with new hours but I came on a Wednesday at 5:00 pm and they still weren't open... this place used to be my family's favorite. But now we've found somewhere else to go. I would also like to give the owner a friendly tip that $2 is super expensive for sauce. Usually places give you sauce on the side for free, especially when you're paying for a $5 empanada. Also in the many times we did go, we were left at the counter for 10 minutes even after the cashier acknowledged us.

Not only is the food delicious, the service is spectacular. I placed a catering order for my husbands birthday and the owner went beyond my expectations to ensure the order was perfect. It was the type of service I feel like you just don’t get anymore, so I will be supporting this business for years to come and I encourage everyone reading this to go here and eat the great food and experience the great service!

I decided to try on a whim and was not disappointed. I ordered the Lomo Saltado Empanada combo with sweet potato fries and a mango smoothie (with milk).The empanadas were fantastic! They were flavorful, packed full and cooked perfectly. The sweet potato fries were just as good and complimented the meal perfectly. The mango smoothie tasted good but I wish it was blended better as there were small bits of ice throughout the drink. This is my only complaint, if it really counts as one because it’s a personal preference to have a thicker, smoother, blended smoothie.Lastly and certainly not least, the staff was welcoming, pleasant and tended to me swiftly with kind. I will definitely eat here again and recommend this place for a hot, fast and pleasant meal!

Their combo 3 states buy 6 empanadas and get one free. I was overcharged by being told that it is buy 7 and get one free.

Our family ate here for the first time recently. We had the Lomo Saltado, Choclo con Queso, Original beef, and Banana and Nutella empanadas, with fries, and tried 4 of the sauces. The sauces were Rocoto, Huancaina, Garlic Cilantro, and Aji de Polleria. Also had smoothies, mango and soursop. Everything was absolutely delicious! Everybody in our family loved this place. Definitely coming back as much as possible. :-) :-)

Beware! This is the ONLY SOUTH AMERICAN STYLE EMPANADA, this is not called so "patty". The dough is perfect soft inside and crisp outside with plenty filling inside. Every time I went to this place their empanada kept quality. Recommended. The place is small, it suppose to be informal/casual.

Absolutely delicious. My favorite is the simple ground beef empanada. There are so many varieties. I do think they're a little pricey and I do wish that they gave you a better deal for buying more than two of them but fortunately one is enough for my lunch. They're just great.
I grew up in Bolivia so these flavors unlocked so many memories! We orded twice now and tried the chicken, beef and steak one. They're all delicious! The apple pie was a nice treat. The limeade is soooo yummy. I tried the Nutella and banana one today and it'll be my go to dessert from them now. Definitely recommend this gem!

I didn’t realize until my order arrived these are full moon empanadas! I was as delighted to have double the deliciousness as I was that they were *chef kiss* good with quality ingredients that didn’t leave my sensitive insides doing a tango. The balance of crust crunch with soft middle was ahhh perfection ?

Consistently delicious. The chicken garlic is my favorite. Super juicy and FLAVORFUL! The lomo saltado is also outstanding. Even though i am not a fan of ground beef, the ground beef empanada is also fabulous. The staff is super polite and the food comes out hot and fast.

If you love empanadas, this is a must try! We just enjoyed the 6 empanada special and tried all of the flavors they offer. Every bite is a flavor explosion! My personal faves were the Choclo Con Queso and Lomo Soltado , but everything was delicious! Must try!

Good food with fresh ideas and design. Went in on a rainy day and got served up some traditional empanadas and a Mediterranean style one. The breading they do is a little different than what you think of when you think empanada but that's okay. All in all there weren't many sauces to be paired w the great selection of empanadas. Was just kinda meh about the experience because I didn't feel like I really got a meal.
